Hmm… about 10 years ago I helped a friend pass an oral exam by talking to him over the phone. He had this “headset” that came in two parts: a tiny magnet that you insert into your ear canal, and a necklace that your put under your shirt, which was basically a large coil that vibrated the magnet in your ear.

Would love to know more details about this!

- How did the "necklace" connect to a phone? (Since you were talking over the phone)

- Was it bidirectional communication? How did friend communicate with you?

These are pretty easy to find online: https://www.ebay.com/itm/254882338954

Id rather fail an exam than put a tiny magnet into my ear in the hopes to get it back out...

Sounds like a re-tasked hearing aid

More experiential than you may have had?
